I shoot cause it’s quicker than drawing. ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson

Well it been a little while, especially since i wrote. what have i been up too? well i am still looking for work, still sending out resumes, still rarely hearing back or getting interviews, but i am still not worried, i know it'll happen eventually, and me worrying about it doesn't help. Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes which i've learned to apply to life, which comes from the movie "Bad Santa" of all places is, "Shit is one hand, wish in the other, see which fills up first." It is simple and silly, but it's true, and wishing and worrying are much the same.

Which reminds me, my friend Ed, was curious of any recent movies i had seen that i recommended, so here is a list for Ed and any others:
District B13~ and amazing martial arts movie, from France, yeah French martial artists, you got to see it to believe it.
Brick~ a film noir styled mystery set in a California high school and suburb.
13 Tzameti~ best thriller i have seen in a long time, its french and in black and white, the less you know going into it the better.
The Descent~ amazing, amazing horror film, best i have seen in maybe ever.
Little Miss Sunshine~ i am sure you've all already seen it, but if not, do.
Talladega Nights~ obviously.
Borat~ even more obvious.
Fearless~ Jet Li's supposed final martial arts film, and its directed by Ronny Yu, Ed you may remember him from directing The Bride with White Hair.
The Ax~ a french film about a guy who losses his job, and spends two years looking for a new job, then he gets the bright idea to put out a job ad for a position similar to the one he is looking for, collect the resumes that his competitors send in, and then kill them all.
Wristcutters- a love story~ the best titled film of the year, its about people stuck in a purgatory only for suicide victims.
Half Nelson~ a crack-addicted teacher, and a young female student become friends.
Lady Vengence~ the final film in Chan-Wook Park's vengeance trilogy, his other films are Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, & Oldboy.
Dead Man's Shoes~ a British revenge film.
The Science of Sleep~ Michel Gondry's new film, it's beautiful, and a very realistic film about people meeting and liking each other, but then both act weird and awkward as they both try to become a couple, it would have been significantly better with out the Gael Garcia Bernal(who i think is a Mexican version of Colin Farrell, simply cause he ruins every movie he is in, simply unwatchable, Gondry was able to make the rest of the film very watchable)
Beerfest~it was funny in the theaters, but it is the ideal movie to watch at home while you drink, drink, drink some delicious golden nectar.
Crank~ a constant action film with Jason Stratham, the idea is he was poisoned with a drug that will kill him if his testosterone levels fall, so he must keep his testosterone very high while he enacts revenge on those who poisoned him.
Jackass 2~ even better that the first jackass movie, more outrageous and hilarious.
Hard Candy~ a child predator meets a teenage girl, they meet, she agrees to go back to his place, and things do not go as he planned, similar to the film Audition.
and Inconvenient Truth~ Just kidding, that would be ridiculous, i haven't seen and won't, i don't want to laugh as hard or frequently as i did during Passion Of The christ.

A lot of my time is spent on photography lately, currently i am watching a Charlie Rose(by far my favorite interviewer, and one of my favorite shows cause of the amazing, interesting, intellectual interviews he gets with lots of interesting important people, and cause he doesn't ask basic stock questions. For example, he interviewed Donald Rumsfeld a few years ago, i had only heard bad things about him, and never really heard him speak, well after the interview i was impressed and surprised by his intellect, and thoughts on a variety of issues, anyways i'll get back to the point) with Henri Cartier-Bresson(my costume for Halloween this year) while writing this, i have seen it before on TV as a rerun, but i hadn't seen it in a while, here's a link. i originally found the link from another photography blog that i read, Conscientious, i read several other photography blogs as well, i will add those links in my list as well. And here are some other links to 2 essays by Bertrand Russell that i enjoyed greatly, Why I am not a Christian, and In Praise of Idleness.

While i still want to work in the corporate world, and do something with IT and/or finance, its not something i want to do forever. i have thought this for a little while, but i came to the conclusion recently, while with my father, we were talking and he told me that when starting out after he graduated college he had the mind frame and desire to be the best computer programmer, and that was his goal. This made me think that "what you want to be the best at" is a good determinate for what you want and should do with your life. Do i want to be the best IT, computer, finance guy? NO, definitely not. What do i want to be the best at, or at least want to try and be the best at, or simply what would i enjoy the most on the way to trying to be the bast at? Simple ~ Photography.

So i ask you, What do you want to be the best at? Please post your answers.
